In grating, as in budding, the princi-
pal object is to increase the varieties that
cannot be produced with certainty from
seed. Grating is also performed to fruit
new variety. In this latter case q cion
Inserted ilN branch of a bearing tree will
produce fl nit oftentimes the second year
from the raft, while if the same cion had
been put II young Seeding it would not
have frui,ed perhaps in ten years.
Stocks may be Of any age from seed
lings to old trees. Cions are usually shoots
of the preceding years growth. These
are cut in autumn after the fall of the
leaf or in winter, and are preserved in a
dormant state until wanted for use. Cions
should not be cut in very cold weather,
but with this exception they may be taken
from the trees at any time between the
falling of the leaves in autumn and the
swelling of the buds in spring. They are
better if cut u few weeks previous to
using, though the apple and pear have
been grated with success with cions taken
off at the time the work was done.
Splice grating is the simplest form of
grating. The root or stock is cut across
at an angle near the collar, the cion at Il
like angle or slope and the two fitted and
bound together (See first cut) This
method is much used with stocks of small
diameter
Whip grating see same illustration is
q modification of splice grating, differing
from the former in the splitting or tongue
Ing of the stock and ciOn midway on the
sloping cut of each, thus increasing the
extent of surface brought into contact
when the pieces are fitted into each other

A FLOOD GATE.

The sketch explains itself Get two
mud sills, oak, s or 10 feet long and Is or
20 inches in diameter. Hew one side and
cut mortce in center of each. Lay one
on each side of stream, hewn side up, with
top about level with low water mark.
Next set two posts in the mortices. These
should be high enough to allow the gate
to be hoisted above high water mark.
Then frame a stiff pole on top Of these
posts, first squaring two sides Spike
braces on the down stream side of the
posts, to mud sill, and board up the space
to post and sill tight, to keep hogs from
creeping between gate and post The
gate is made by mailing strips on q 2x4
piece of scautling, or using light iron rods
braced by stiff wire, as shown in cut.
Hang the gate by chains with hook at one
end. Hook on about two feet from each
end of gate, and one in the middle. Bore
holes through the top log to pass chains
through and put an iron bolt or pin
through a link. The gate must swing
clear of posts and bank. You can raise or
lover this gate at will, to allow drift, ice,
etc, to pass through.

DESTROYING canler Worms.

The female Of the canker worm does not
possess the power of flying, and can only
reach the eXtrrnities of the limbs on
which she deposits her eggs by crawling
up the trunk. They begin this with the
first warm days of spring, weeks before
buds and leaves are ready to put forth.
1t is quite common for them to do this
While the nights are cold enough to harden
tar in vessels around the trees intended to
obstruct their progress This Old method
has therefore given way to spraying the
trees with water in which London purple
or Paris green has been dissolved, thus
killing the worms after they begin to eat.
1t requires very little poison to do this.
Too strong a solution might burn the
apple leaves, which, when young, are very
tender.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1887-05-12
CLEFT GRATING.

Cleft grating is practiced on trees or
branches too large for whip grating, also
in the renewing of the tops of orchard
trees The stock is cut square across,
then split, and the cions, which have been
shaved down to wedge shape, are in
serted, care being taken that the inner
bark of the cion shall meet that of the
stock. Our second cut illustrates the OPP
GRAFTON. In large stocks two cions are in
serted. After the cions are set the eX-
posed or rounded parts of both stock and
cion are covered with good grating wax.
A wax made of equal parts of rosin, bees
wax and tallow melted together, and ap-
piled warm, will be found effective.
A common mistake is the one of graft
ing too early; remember that the cion will
not make any union with the stock until
the latter starts into growth.

Mr. GLADSTONE In a speech In the
Britt h House of Comm )ns against The
governments crimes act, cited from a
work by Mr., Mulhall some rather appsll-
ing statistics, In way of proof of the
statement shat the reiED vi @ EN- Vic
tOris has been the most disastrous one
since that Of Elizabeth" MIR. Gladstone
stated the case very succ lctly as fol.
lows:
That distinguished writer says there
died Of famine In this reigD (of which
we are now celebrating the jublee)
1,225 900 pei sons; there we're evicted In
Ireland 3568,000 persons; and the
numb r Of emigTants was |, 1885 900, and
the great bulk of those of course went
to America, and then people are aston
ished to fad that there should be sympa-
thy In America for Ireland. Mr.. Mulhall
then goes on 10 state that those four
and quarter million Of emigrants pro.
dnced since leaving the Irish shore
wealth to the amount of e655, 100000.
That Is very mournful history, and 1t
appears to me to afford some apology to
those who thought 1t was time to re-
view our position and to consider
whether the character of England as
much as the happiness of Ireland does
not absolutely require that we should
discover some better method Of fulfill

Do not be in despair about your young
fruit trees that have been girdled by mice
and rabbits. Unless the inner bark is
completely gone the tree may, with pro-
per treatment, be saved. The object
should be to keep the wound moist while
nature heals it. The usual mode Of ac-
complishing this is to apply thick dress
ing of COW manure and clay mixed to-
gether with little water to form plas
ter This dressing is kept in place by
bandage of old bagging or cloth. 1t is
also we'll to reduce the head Of the tree by
cutting back its branches. When the
wound is very severe The American Agri-
culturist advises that it be bridged over
by the use of large cions, one end inserted
under the bark below and the other end
above the wound. But unless tree is
large and especially valuable, it will rarely
pay to be at this trouble. Better replace
the injured tree by another of the same
size and age.
